Song of the Week
May. 18th, 2009 07:49 amDidn't get one posted last week, but I'm not going to post two this week, so don't panic.
I love most of Ray Price's work, his voice is one of the iconic country sounds out there. This song, however, is a recent offering from Price and is the reason I called these posts "unknown" song of the week, rather than "old".
I really can't describe this song, while the lyrics are definitely on the depressing side, the song itself isn't depressing. The music is patently country in sound, with piano and fiddle and steel guitar. It's more "night club" country than "honkey tonk" country.
One of the most interesting things about country music is that there are many different sounds that are all distinctively country music. I often think that country is more of an attitude than sound, but that's not completely true either because a lot of metal has a county attitude, yet would never qualify as country.
Anyhow, here is "Time" by Ray Price:
